CHINA VALVES TECHNOLOGY, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2010
(Unaudited)
Note 2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). In the opinion of management, the accompanying balance sheets, and statements of income and other comprehensive income, stockholders equity and cash flows include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, considered necessary to give a fair presentation of operating results for the periods presented. All material inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Management has included all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary to give a fair presentation of operating results for the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the 2009 annual report filed on Form 10-K.
The Renminbi (RMB) of the Peoples Republic of China has been determined to be the Companys functional currency. The balance sheets were translated at year end exchange rates. Expenses were translated at moving average exchange rates in effect during the periods. The effects of rate changes on assets and liabilities are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
China Valves Technology Inc. is a holding company which conducts its business through its operating subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Companys wholly indirectly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The results of companies acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the effective date of acquisition.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of fixed assets; the allowance for doubtful accounts; the fair value determination of financial and equity instruments, realizability of inventories; the recoverability of goodwill, intangible asset, land use right, plant and equipment; and accruals for income tax uncertainties and other contingencies. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in those estimates and assumptions.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Companys revenue recognition policies are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles regarding revenue recognition. Sales revenue is recognized when all of the following have occurred: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) the ability to collect is reasonably assured. These criteria are generally satisfied at the time of delivery for domestic sales when risk of loss and title passes to the customer. For international sales, the revenue recognition criteria are generally satisfied under Free on Board (FOB) terms, in which the Companys responsibility ends once the goods clear the port of shipment.
The Company recognizes revenue when the goods are delivered and title has passed. Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax (VAT). All of the Companys products that are sold in the PRC are subject to a Chinese value-added tax at a rate of 17% of the gross sales price or at a rate approved by the Chinese local government. This VAT may be offset by the VAT paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials included in the cost of producing their finished product.
The Company allows its customers to retain 5% to 10% of the contract prices as retainage during the warranty period, usually 12 or 18 months, to guarantee product quality. Historically, the Company has experienced insignificant warranty claims resulting in the Company having to repair or exchange a defective product. Due to the infrequency and insignificant amount of warranty claims, the ability to collect retainage is reasonably assured and is recognized at the time of shipment.
The Company also provides services to some of its sales agents and distributors. The Company recognizes revenue on these services once a contract is signed and the services have been rendered.
COST OF GOODS SOLD
Cost of goods sold consists primarily of direct material costs, direct labor costs, direct depreciation and related direct expenses attributable to the production of the products. Inbound shipping and handling costs and purchasing are included in direct material costs. Manufacturing overhead includes expenses such as indirect labor, depreciation as it relates to the cost of production, rent, utilities, receiving costs, and equipment maintenance and repairs.

SHIPPING AND HANDLING
Shipping and handling costs incurred for shipping of finished products to customers are included in selling expense and totaled $428,686 and $103,545 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, and 2009, respectively. Shipping and handling costs amounted to $518,994 and $212,639 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
SELLING EXPENSE
Selling expense includes transportation expense, advertising, salaries, conference fees and sales commissions.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE
General and administrative expenses include insurance expense, administrative and management salaries, bad debt expense, depreciation, rent, travel expense, welfare expense, office expenses, meal and entertainment expense, conference expense, and repairs and maintenance expense.
ADVERTISING
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $4,928 and $1,379 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, and 2009, respectively and $18,675 and $7,884 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
The reporting currency of the Company is the US dollar. The functional currency of the Company and the local currency of its operating subsidiaries is (RMB).
For those entities whose currency is other than the US dollar, all assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date; shareholders equity is translated at historical rates and items in the statements of income and of cash flows are translated at the average rate for the period. Because cash flows are translated based on the average translation rate, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported in the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances in the balance sheet. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of shareholders equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.
The balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were translated at 6.79 RMB to $1.00. The average translation rates applied to the statements of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were 6.82 RMB and 6.82 RMB to $1.00, respectively.
PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the asset, ranging from five to thirty years.
Construction in progress represents direct costs of construction as well as acquisition and design fees incurred. Capitalization of these costs ceases and the construction in progress is transferred to plant and equipment when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. Interest incurred during construction is capitalized into construction in progress. All other interest is expensed as incurred. No depreciation is provided until construction is completed and the asset is ready for its intended use. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged directly to expenses as incurred. Major additions and betterments to property and equipment are capitalized.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets consist of patents, software and land use rights. Patents and software are subject to amortization. Patents, which have a legal life of 10 years in the PRC, are being amortized over 5 years as management believes that five years is the estimated useful life of the patents currently owned by the Company. Land use rights are carried at cost and charged to expense on a straight-line basis over the period the rights are granted, 46.4 -50 years. Software is amortized over 10 years, its estimated useful life.

GOODWILL
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but is instead tested for impairment. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The goodwill impairment test is a two-step test. Under the first step, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value (including goodwill). If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit and the enterprise must perform step two of the impairment test (measurement). Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting units goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation and the residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. Fair value of the reporting unit is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, step two does not need to be performed. The Company performs its annual impairment review of goodwill every year at December 31 and when a triggering event occurs between annual impairment tests. No impairment loss was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company reviews the carrying amount of its long-lived assets, including intangibles, for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. An asset is considered impaired when estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. In the event the carrying amount of such asset is considered not recoverable, the asset is adjusted to its fair value. Fair value is generally determined based on discounted future cash flow. As of June 30, 2010, the Company determined no impairment charges were necessary.
INVENTORIES
The Company values its inventories at the lower of cost or market, determined on a weighted average method, or net realizable value. The Company reviews its inventories periodically to determine if any reserves are necessary for potential obsolescence or if a write down is necessary because the carrying value exceeds net realizable value.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The costs of material and equipment that are acquired or constructed for research and development activities and which have alternative future uses, either in research and development, marketing, or sales, are classified as property and equipment and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
RETIREMENT BENEFIT COSTS
Amounts payable to the PRC state managed retirement benefit programs are expensed in the financial statements following the accrual basis of accounting.
INCOME TAXES
The Company applies the accounting standard regarding accounting for income taxes and the accounting standard regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes for income taxes. This accounting standard requires recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the income tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Provision for income taxes consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes. The charge for taxation is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items that are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred taxes are accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
Under the accounting standard regarding, accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is more likely than not that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the more likely than not test, no tax benefit is recorded. Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the year incurred. No significant penalties or interest relating to income taxes have been incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. GAAP also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents comprise of cash in banks and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and short-term, highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, having been within three months of maturity at acquisition.

For restricted cash held in bank, the restriction is released after the customers have received and inspected the products. The Company has notes payable outstanding with various banks and is required to keep certain amounts on deposit that are subject to withdrawal restrictions. Cash held in escrow pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement is released after the Company satisfies certain covenants as stated in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

CONCENTRATION RISKS |
The Company's operations are carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC's economy. The Company's operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. The Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, restrictions on currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
Certain financial instruments may subject the Company to concentration of credit risk. The Company maintains bank deposits within state-owned banks within the PRC, Hong Kong and United States. Balances at financial institutions of state owned banks within the PRC are not covered by insurance. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Companys cash and restricted cash balances, totaling $12,578,802 and $14,505,745 respectively at those dates, were not covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risks on its cash in bank accounts.
Five major suppliers, including a related party, represented approximately 21% and 22% of the Companys total purchases for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Five major suppliers, including a related party, represented approximately 21% and 20% of the Companys total purchases for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Five major customers represented approximately 13% and 15% of the Companys total sales for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Five major customers represented approximately 13% and 14% of the Companys total sales for six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The accounting standards regarding disclosures about fair value of financial instruments defines financial instruments and required fair value disclosure of those instruments. This accounting standard defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. Receivables, investments, payables, short and long term debt and warrant liabilities qualified as financial instruments. Management believes the carrying amounts of receivables, payables and debt are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments, their expected realization, and if applicable, their stated interest rate is equivalent to interest rates currently available. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 | inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
Level 2 | inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments. |
Level 3 | inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value. |
The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under the accounting standards regarding accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity, accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities, accounting for derivative financial instruments indexed to, and potentially settled in, a companys own stock, and the accounting standard regarding determining whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entitys own stock. The accounting standard specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to the Companys own stock and (b) classified in stockholders equity in the statement of financial position would not be considered a derivative financial instrument. This standard provides a two-step model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuers own stock and thus able to qualify for this accounting standard scope exception. All warrants issued by the Company are denominated in USD; because the Companys functional currency is the RMB, the Company accounts for these warrants as derivative instrument liabilities and marks them to market each period. Because there is no quoted or observable market price for the warrants, the Company used level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology.

The Company invested in China Perfect Machinery Industry Co., Ltd. in 1996 and Kaifeng Commercial Bank in 1997. There is no quoted or observable market price for these investments; therefore, the Company used level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology. Based on its proportionate share of the underlying book value of the investees, the Company believes the fair value of the investments is at least equal to the original cost. The determination of the fair value was based on the capital investment that the Company contributed. There has been no change in the carrying value since inception, other than the effects of translating the balances to US dollars.
A discussion of the valuation technique used to measure the fair value of the warrant liabilities is provided in Note 13.

RECEIVABLES |
The Companys business operations are conducted in the PRC by selling on various credit terms. Management reviews its receivables on a quarterly basis to determine if the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate. An estimate for doubtful accounts is recorded when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Known bad debts are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when identified. The Companys existing reserve is consistent with its historical experience and considered adequate by management.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of the accounting standard regarding "Earnings per Share." This accounting standard requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution (using the treasury stock method) that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock.
Common stock equivalents represent the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of the outstanding stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock method, at either the beginning of the respective period presented or the date of issuance, whichever is later, and only if the common stock equivalents are considered dilutive based upon the Company's net income (loss) position at the calculation date.
OTHER INVESTMENTS
The Company invested in China Perfect Machinery Industry Co., Ltd. in 1996 and Kaifeng Commercial Bank in 1997. The Company owns approximately 0.07% of China Perfect Machinery Industry Co. Ltd. and approximately 0.82% of Kaifeng Commercial Bank. The Company does not have the ability to exercise control over the investee companies and the investments have been recorded under the cost method.

The Company evaluates potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investments may not be recoverable. For investments carried at cost, the Company recognizes impairment in the event that the carrying value of the investment exceeds the Companys proportionate share of the net book value of the investee. As of June 30, 2010, management believes no impairment charge is necessary.
CUSTOMER DEPOSITS
Customer deposits represent amounts advanced by customers on product orders. The product normally is shipped within six months after receipt of the advance payment and the related sale is recognized in accordance with the Companys revenue recognition policy. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, customer deposits amounted to $6,362,194 and $3,325,906, respectively.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company applies the accounting standard regarding accounting for stock-based compensation, which defines a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock based employee compensation and transactions in which an entity issues its equity instruments to acquire goods and services from employees and non-employees. Stock compensation for stock granted to non-employees has been determined in accordance with this accounting standard and the accounting standard regarding accounting for equity instruments that are issued to other than employees for acquiring, or in conjunction with selling goods or services, as the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured. This accounting standard allows the simplified method to determine the term of employee options when other information is not available.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-02 regarding accounting and reporting for decreases in ownership of a subsidiary. Under this guidance, an entity is required to deconsolidate a subsidiary when the entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in the subsidiary. Upon deconsolidation of a subsidiary, and entity recognizes a gain or loss on the transaction and measures any retained investment in the subsidiary at fair value. In contrast, an entity is required to account for a decrease in its ownership interest of a subsidiary that does not result in a change of control of the subsidiary as an equity transaction. This ASU clarifies the scope of the decrease in ownership provisions, and expands the disclosures about the deconsolidation of a subsidiary or de-recognition of a group of assets. This ASU is effective for beginning in the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 31, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-02 Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary a Scope Clarification. The amendments in this Update affect accounting and reporting by an entity that experiences a decrease in ownership in a subsidiary that is a business or nonprofit activity. The amendments also affect accounting and reporting by an entity that exchanges a group of assets that constitutes a business or nonprofit activity for an equity interest in another entity. The amendments in this update are effective beginning in the period that an entity adopts SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements An Amendment of ARB No. 51. If an entity has previously adopted SFAS No. 160 as of the date the amendments in this update are included in the Accounting Standards Codification, the amendments in this update are effective beginning in the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively to the first period that an entity adopted SFAS No. 160. The Company adopted this standard and the adoption of this standard did not have material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that requires new disclosure as follows: 1) Transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2. A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. 2) Activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number). This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that clarify existing disclosures as follows: 1) Level of disaggregation. A reporting entity should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities. A class is often a subset of assets or liabilities within a line item in the statement of financial position. A reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities. 2) Disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. Those disclosures are required for fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3.The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU. However, the Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements, or ASU 2010-09. ASU 2010-09 primarily rescinds the requirement that, for listed companies, financial statements clearly disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. Subsequent events must still be evaluated through the date of financial statement issuance; however, the disclosure requirement has been removed to avoid conflicts with other SEC guidelines. ASU 2010-09 was effective immediately upon issuance and was adopted in February 2010.
In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-13, CompensationStock Compensation (Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades, or ASU 2010-13. ASU 2010-13 provides amendments to Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in currency of a market in which a substantial porting of the entitys equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-17 to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2010-17, Revenue RecognitionMilestone Method (Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition or ASU 2010-17. This Update provides guidance on the recognition of revenue under the milestone method, which allows a vendor to adopt an accounting policy to recognize all of the arrangement consideration that is contingent on the achievement of a substantive milestone (milestone consideration) in the period the milestone is achieved. The pronouncement is effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2010-17 does not have any significant impacts on the consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications

WARRANTS
2008 placement agent warrants
At the closing of the 2008 private placement, as part of the compensation to the placement agent, the Company issued warrants to the placement agent to acquire 587,249 shares of common stock. The warrants have a strike price equal to $4.29 and a term of 3 years. The shares underlying the warrants will have registration rights. The warrants contain a standard anti-dilution provision for stock dividends, stock splits, stock combination, recapitalization and a change of control transaction. Because the warrants are denominated in U.S. dollars and the Companys functional currency is the RMB, they do not meet the requirements of the accounting standard to be indexed only to the Companys stock. Accordingly, they are accounted for at fair value as derivative liabilities and marked to market each period
The initial value of the warrants was determined using the Cox-Ross-Rubinstein binomial model using the following assumptions: volatility of 75%; risk free interest rate of 2.64%; dividend yield of 0% and expected term of 3 years. The volatility of the Companys common stock was estimated by management averaging its own volatility and three other comparable companies volatility, the risk free interest rate was based on Treasury Constant Maturity Rates published by the U.S. Federal Reserve for periods applicable to the life of the warrants, the dividend yield was based on the Companys current and expected dividend policy and the expected term is equal to the contractual life of the warrants. The value of the warrants was based on the Companys common stock price of $3.576 on the date the warrants were issued.
On February 18, 2009, the placement agent, Brean Murray, Carret & Co., LLC performed a cashless exercise of 352,349 warrant shares; which were converted to 201,326 shares of common stock.

The warrants contain a standard anti-dilution provision for stock dividends, stock splits, stock combination, recapitalization and a change of control transaction. Because the warrants are denominated in U.S. dollars and the Companys functional currency is the Renminbi, they do not meet the requirements of the accounting standard to be indexed only to the Companys stock. Accordingly, they are accounted for at fair value as derivative liabilities and marked to market each period The initial value of the warrants was determined using the Cox-Ross-Rubinstein binomial model using the following assumptions: volatility 96%; risk free interest rate 0.030%; dividend yield of 0% and expected term of one month. The value of the warrants was based on the Companys common stock price of $9.140 on the date the warrants were issued. The warrants were valued at $53,560 when they were issued on December 28, 2009. As of December 31, 2009, the estimated fair value of these warrants was $56,484 and a loss of $2,924 was recorded in the Companys income statement.

For each of the calendar years 2008, 2009 and 2010, 4,194,344 shares will be released to the investors or returned to the shareholder, depending on the fulfilment of specified earnings targets. In 2008, the Company recorded $15.0 million expenses for the release of the escrow shares as the escrow shares were originally thought to be compensatory. However, in January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-05 Escrowed Share Arrangements and the Presumption of Compensation. This update codifies EITF Topic D-110, which clarifies overcoming the presumption that for certain shareholders these arrangements represent compensation. Historically, an escrowed share arrangement involving the release of shares to certain shareholders based on performance-related criteria is presumed to be compensatory. When evaluating whether the presumption of compensation has been overcome, substance of the arrangement should be considered, including whether the arrangement was entered into for purposes unrelated to, and not contingent upon, continued employment. If specific facts and circumstances indicate that the arrangement, such as investors request that specific significant shareholders participate in an escrowed share arrangement, which will be released or canceled without regard to continued employment, is in substance an inducement made to facilitate the transaction on behalf of the company, rather than as compensatory, the arrangement should be recognized and measured according to its nature and reflected as a reduction of the proceeds allocated to the newly-issued securities. The Companys CEO, SiPing Fangs, escrowed shares, in connection with the 2008 Make Good Escrow agreement, are placed in escrow at request of the investors and without regard to continued employment. Based on the clarification from the ASU, the release of the escrowed shares to SiPing Fang as result of the Company meeting the make good annual income target should not be recorded as compensation expense. Hence, the Company did not record compensation expense for Mr. Fang for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 as it did for the corresponding periods in prior year.

Note 16 Business combinations
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the accounting standard regarding business combinations. This standard retains the fundamental requirements that the acquisition method of accounting (which this standard called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This standard requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions. This replaces the old accounting standards cost-allocation process, which required the cost of an acquisition to be allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. If the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities is still greater than the consideration transferred, then the acquirer is to recognize a gain for the difference on the acquisition date.

Our Company
We develop, manufacture and distribute over 800 models of high quality metal valves for a variety of different industries including the thermal power, water supply, municipal construction, sewage disposal, oil and chemical, metallurgy, heat power, and nuclear power industries. According to the China Valves Industry Association, we are the leader in valve sales for the thermal power and water supply industries. We are located in Kaifeng, Henan Province, China and conduct business throughout China, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Europe. Our production facility in Kaifeng has an area of approximately 110,000 square meters.
As a result of growth in urbanization and heavy industrialization throughout all of China, the Chinese valve market is expected to increase at an annual rate of more than 30% for the next few years according to the China Valve Industry Associations research in 2009. We believe that demand for valves will be driven primarily by the energy and water sectors with operations and projects in urban centers. The stimulus package being implemented by the Chinese government in response to the global economic crisis is expected to emphasize basic infrastructure construction projects for water, electricity, sewage treatment, gas and heat in order to ensure continuous economic development and meet the requirement of improving peoples living standards. We believe that these initiatives should generate strong demand for valves and promising business prospects for the valve industry and our company, especially as Chinas valve market keeps growing and developing. We intend to focus our efforts on utilizing our tangible and intangible resources to expand and strengthen our product offerings and increase our market share in response to industry demands.
According to the China Daily, the Chinese government has committed to launch more projects related to peoples livelihood and infrastructure and decided to invest RMB100 billion ($14.49 billion) in these projects, starting in the fourth quarter of 2008. The actions taken by the Chinese government should significantly increase the demand for valve products which are essential for infrastructure construction and will provide market opportunities for us. The governments support of infrastructure development will increase expenditures on a number of major projects including a major West-to-East Gas Pipeline Project, post-earthquake reconstruction in Qinghai province, a South-to-North Water Diversion Project, and upgrade of urban area infrastructure.
At the beginning of February 2009, as part of the announced economic stimulus package, a detailed proposal aimed at reviving the domestic equipment manufacturing industry was finalized and sent to the State Council for approval. This proposal calls for more innovation and efficient production, and the increased development and use of technology in the domestic equipment manufacturing sector. It supports faster development of equipment used in goods production, and the use of China-made equipment in replacement of the imported ones.
In addition, although the financial crises have affected Chinese enterprises that rely on overseas markets, we have not been materially affected as less than 5% of our revenue is generated from exports and the relatively strong domestic market demand has positioned us to continue to grow notwithstanding the current financial crisis.
We believe that the recent financial crisis in the US and Europe should not have any materially negative impact on our business, and we believe that we will benefit from the stimulus plan of the central government of China.

Of the total sales increase, 84%was contributed by the three new operating subsidiaries that the Company acquired in 2010, the remaining 16% was primarily attributable to increased demand for our products fueled by rapid industrialization and governmental capital expenditure on Chinas infrastructure. In addition, our innovations in high temperature high pressure power station gate valves and two-way metal sealing butterfly valves, which are popular among our customers, also contributed to sales volume increases as compared to sales in the same period last year. We also made efforts to expand sales in the petrochemical, oil and nuclear areas, while strengthening the current thermal power and hydro-power market for our products. Our revenue also increased as a result of the $20.5 million in revenue contributed from our recently acquired subsidiaries, Yangzhou Rock, Changsha Valve and Shanghai Hanwei.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales, which consist of raw materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead expenses, was $26.3 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $13.8 million, or 111%, as compared with $12.5 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2009. Cost of sales as a percentage of total revenues were 53% and 50% for the three month periods ended on June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, with an increase of approximately 3%. The increase was in line with the increase of sales revenues and can also be attributed to the higher material costs and production costs from the newly acquired subsidiaries as these entities generally manufacture valves with higher costs.
Gross Profit
Gross profit was $23 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $10.5 million, or 84%, as compared with $12.5 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2009. Our gross profit percentage decreased to 47% as compared to 50% in 2009. The decrease in gross profit percentage is a result of the acquisition of the three new subsidiaries as they all have lower gross profit compared to old subsidiaries, which are Henan Kaifeng, Zhengzhou Zhengdie, and Tai De. Three key factors that affect gross profit of new subsidiaries are poorer production management technique resulting in higher production costs, less purchase bargaining power resulting in higher raw material costs, and production of valves that generally have lower gross profit margin, such as ball valves. Because newly acquired subsidiaries were under a different production management style which may not be as cost efficient as our other subsidiaries with more mature and advanced production management methodology and production techniques thus resulting in higher production costs. In addition, the new subsidiaries still purchase raw materials such as steel and casting locally and individually, which results in higher prices due to limited bargaining power. Hence, overall gross profit margin decreased.

General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses, which consist primarily of related salaries and benefits, business development, traveling expenses, legal and professional expenses and depreciation, and bad debt expenses, were $3.0 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2010, compared with $1.2 million for the period ended June 30, 2009, a increase of $1.8 million, or approximately 152%. This increase was primarily attributable to the newly acquired three subsidiaries.
Income from Operations
Income from operations was $17.1 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2010, compared with $2.0 million for the period ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $15.1 million, or approximately 763% primarily due to the Company recording a stock compensation expense from the 2008 Make Good Escrow Agreement for the period ended June 30, 2009. As described in Note 13 to the Companys June 30, 2010 consolidated financial statements, in connection with the Companys private placement on August 26, 2008, the Company entered into the Make Good Escrow Agreement, under which 12,583,032 shares of the Companys common stock held by Bin Li, the Companys major shareholder, were placed in escrow. These shares are the subject of an Earn-In Agreement between Bin Li and Siping Fang as described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. Bin Li entered into the Make Good Escrow Agreement on behalf of Siping Fang. For each of the calendar years 2008, 2009 and 2010, 4,194,344 shares will be released to the investors or returned to the shareholder, depending on the fulfilment of specified earnings targets. In 2008, the Company recorded $15.0 million expenses for the release of the escrow shares as the escrow shares were originally thought to be compensatory. However, in January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-05 Escrowed Share Arrangements and the Presumption of Compensation. This update codifies EITF Topic D-110, which clarifies overcoming the presumption that for certain shareholders these arrangements represent compensation. Historically, an escrowed share arrangement involving the release of shares to certain shareholders based on performance-related criteria is presumed to be compensatory. When evaluating whether the presumption of compensation has been overcome, substance of the arrangement should be considered, including whether the arrangement was entered into for purposes unrelated to, and not contingent upon, continued employment. If specific facts and circumstances indicate that the arrangement, such as investors request that specific significant shareholders participate in an escrowed share arrangement, which will be released or canceled without regard to continued employment, is in substance an inducement made to facilitate the transaction on behalf of the company, rather than as compensatory, the arrangement should be recognized and measured according to its nature and reflected as a reduction of the proceeds allocated to the newly-issued securities. The Companys CEO SiPing Fangs escrowed shares, in connection with the 2008 Make Good Escrow agreement, are placed in escrow at request of the investors and without regard to continued employment. Based on the clarification from the ASU, the release of the escrowed shares to SiPing Fang as result of the Company meeting the make good annual income target should not be recorded as compensation expense. Hence, the Company did not record compensation expense for Mr. Fang for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as it did for the corresponding period in 2009.
Not considering the non-cash stock compensation expense of $7.49 million in for the three months ended June 30, 2009, the increase of income from operation for the three months ended June 30, 2010 is $7.6 million, or 80%, as compared to the same period in 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in sales from organic growth as well as sales contributed from the Companys three new subsidiaries. Income from operations as a percentage of sales decreased to 35% for the period ended June 30, 2010 as compared to 38% for the same period in 2009 as gross profit decreased from 50% to 47% after acquiring three new subsidiaries.
Other (income) expenses
Total other income was $431 thousand for the three month period ended June 30, 2010, compared with $879 thousand for the period ended June 30, 2009. The financial expenses for the three month period ended on June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $31.4 thousand and $54.7 thousand respectively.
Income taxes
We incurred income taxes of $4 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2010. This is an increase of $1.4 million, or 54%, from the income taxes we incurred in the 2009 period, which were $2.6 million. We incurred more taxes in the three months ended June 30, 2010 mostly because of the higher assessable income in the three month period ended on June 30, 2010 compared to 2009.

Sales Revenue
Our sales revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 amounted to $76 million, which is approximately $33.5 million or 79% more than that of the same period in 2009, when we had revenue of $42.5 million. 61% of the sales increased was contributed by the three new operation subsidiaries the Company acquired in 2010, the remaining 18% growth in sales revenue was primarily attributable to increased demand for our products fueled by rapid industrialization and governmental capital expenditure on Chinas infrastructure. In addition, our innovations on high temperature high pressure power station gate valves and two-way metal sealing butterfly valves, which are popular among our customers, also contributed to sales volume increases as compared to sales in the same period last year. We also made efforts to expand sales in the petrochemical, oil and nuclear areas, while strengthening the current thermal power and hydro-power market for our products. Our revenue also increased as a result of the $25.9 million in revenue contributed from our recently acquired subsidiaries, Yangzhou Rock, Changsha Valve and Hanwei Valve.

Cost of Sales
Cost of sales was $39.2 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $17.8 million or 83%, as compared with $21.3 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2009. Cost of sales as a percentage of total revenues were 52% and 50% for the six month periods ended on June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, with an increase of approximately 2%. The increase was inline with the increase of sales revenues and also attributed to the increase of the cost of raw materials and management costs for those newly acquired entities.
Gross Profit
Gross profit was $36.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $15.7 million or 74%, as compared with $21.1 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2009. Our gross profit percentage decreased to 48% as compared to 50% in 2009. The decrease in gross profit percentage is a result of the fact that the increase of the cost of sale resulted mainly from the increase of raw materials and acquisition of the three new subsidiaries as they all have lower gross profit compared to the old subsidiaries, which are Henan Kaifeng, Zhengzhou Zhengdie, and Tai De. Three key factors that affect the gross profit of the new subsidiaries are poorer production management technique resulting in higher production costs, less purchase bargaining power resulting in higher raw material costs, and production of valves that generally have lower gross profit margin, such as ball valves. Because newly acquired subsidiaries were under a different production management style which may not be as cost efficient as our other subsidiaries with more mature and advanced production management methodology and production techniques, thus resulting in higher production costs. In addition, the new subsidiaries still purchase raw materials such as steel and casting locally and individually, which results in higher prices due to limited bargaining power, hence, overall gross profit margin decreased.

Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses were $4.2 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2010, compared with $2.9 million for the period ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $1.3 million or approximately 45% due to increased sales resulting in higher commission expenses.
General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses were $6.0 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2010, compared with $3.8 million for the period ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $2.3 million, or approximately 60%. The increase was primarily attributable to the three newly acquired subsidiaries.
Income from Operations
Income from operations was $26.4 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2010, compared with $6.9 million for the period ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $19 million, or approximately 281%. As explained in the income from operations analysis for the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company did not record compensation expense for Mr. Fang for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as it did for the corresponding period in 2009. Thus, not considering the non-cash stock compensation expense of $7.49 in for the six months ended June 30, 2009, the increase in income from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010 is $12.0 million, or 83%, as compared to the same period in 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in sales from organic growth as well as sales contributed from the Companys three new subsidiaries.

Other (income) expenses
Total other income was $396 thousand for the six month period ended June 30, 2010, compared with income of $641 thousand for the period ended June 30, 2009. The financial expenses for the six month period ended on June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $66 thousand and $126 thousand respectively.
Income taxes
We incurred income taxes of $6.3 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2010. This is an increase of $2.4 million, or 62%, from the income taxes we incurred in the 2009 period, which were $3.9 million. We incurred more taxes in the six months ended June 30, 2010 mostly because of the higher assessable income in the six month period ended on June 30, 2010 compared to 2009.
Provision for Income Taxes
United States
We are subject to United States tax at a tax rate of 34%. No provision for US federal income taxes has been made as we had no taxable income in the United States for the reporting period.
Hong Kong
China Fluid Equipment was incorporated in Hong Kong and is not subject to income taxes under the current laws of Hong Kong.
PRC
The Company conducts all its operating business through its operating subsidiaries in China. The operating subsidiaries are governed by the income tax laws of the PRC and do not have any deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities under the income tax laws of the PRC because there are no temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities.
The Companys subsidiaries are governed by the Income Tax Law of the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) concerning Foreign Investment Enterprises and Foreign Enterprises (FIEs). and various local income tax laws (the Income Tax Laws). Beginning January 1, 2008, the new Enterprise Income Tax (EIT) law has replaced the previous laws for Domestic Enterprises (DEs) and Foreign Invested Enterprises. The standard EIT rate of 25% has replaced the 33% rate previously applicable to both DEs and FIEs.
Prior to 2008, under the Chinese Income Tax Laws, FIEs generally were subject to an income tax at an effective rate of 33% (30% state income taxes plus 3% local income taxes) on income as reported in their statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments unless the enterprise was located in specially designated regions for which more favorable effective tax rates apply. Beginning January 1, 2008, China has unified the corporate income tax rate on foreign invested enterprises and domestic enterprises. The unified corporate income tax rate is 25%. Under the Chinese Income Tax Laws, certain industries of FIEs are entitled to receive a two years tax exemption following a three years 50% tax reduction.
The Companys operating subsidiaries, High Pressure Valve, Zhengdie Valve Taizhou Wote, Yangzhou Rock Valve are all subject to an income tax at an effective rate of 25%. Able Delight (Changsha) Valve is subject to an income tax at a reduced rate of 12.5% . Able Delight is a qualified FIE that is in the last year of tax benefit period before subjecting to a full 25% tax rate.
Net Income
We earned net income of $20.9 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2010. This is an increase of $17.7 million or approximately 558 % from the period ended June 30, 2009 which had a net income of $3.2 million. This increase was primarily attributable to increased sales, gross margin and decreased overall costs in the period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $13.4 million. The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

The Company currently generates its cash flow through financing activities and used much cash in investing activities. The decline of the cash flow from operations was due to increased of trade receivables and inventories from the increased sales in the second quarter of 2010, the new subsidiaries, as well as the expected increase of sales during the third quarter of 2010. In 2010, we continue to work to develop new valves and expand our presence as the leader in the development and manufacture of various valves.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided in operating activities was $5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $15 million in the same period in fiscal year 2009. The change of $10 million in operating activities was primarily due to increased of trade receivables and inventories from the increased sales in the second quarter of 2010, the new subsidiaries acquired, as well as the expected increase of sales during the third quarter of 2010.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities increased to $31 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared with $7 million in the same period in fiscal year 2009. The net cash used in investing activities during the period ended June 30, 2010, was primarily used for acquisitions.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $25 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared with net cash used in finance activities of $5 million in the same period in fiscal year 2009. The increase in net cash is attributable to cash from the public offering of securities and the exercise of outstanding warrants.
As of June 30, 2010, there was no principal outstanding under our credit facilities and lines of credit.
Capital Expenditures
The capital expenditures in the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 are set out as below.

Make Good Escrow Agreement
In connection with the Companys private placement on August 26, 2008, the Company entered into a Make Good Escrow Agreement, under which the 12,583,032 shares of the Companys common stock held by Bin Li, the Companys major shareholder, were placed in escrow. Of these shares, 12,150,000 are the subject of the Earn-In Agreement between Bin Li and Siping Fang and Bin Li entered into the Make Good Escrow Agreement on behalf of Siping Fang. According to the Make Good Escrow Agreement, each of the calendar years 2008, 2009 and 2010, 4,194,344 shares should be released to the investors or returned to Bin Li, depending on the fulfillment of specified earnings targets. The specified earnings target for calendar 2008 was net income of $10,500,000, for calendar 2009 the target is net income of $23,000,000 and fully diluted earnings per share of $0.369 and for calendar 2010 the target is net income of $31,000,000 and fully diluted earnings per share of $0.497. On August 14, 2009, the parties to the Make Good Escrow Agreement entered into an amendment pursuant to which for calendar 2009 the target was amended to $21,000,000 and fully diluted earnings per share of $0.668 and for calendar 2010 the target was amended to net income of $34,000,000 and fully diluted earnings per share of $1.082. We have met the specified earnings targets and accordingly, 4,194,344 shares were released from escrow and returned to Bin Li for each of the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Other than the contractual obligations and commercial commitments set forth above, we did not have any other long-term debt obligations, capital commitments, purchase obligations or other long-term liabilities as of June 30, 2010.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial information has been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect (1) the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities, (2) the disclosure of our contingent assets and liabilities at the end of each fiscal period and (3) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each fiscal period. We continually evaluate these estimates based on our own historical experience, knowledge and assessment of current business and other conditions, our expectations regarding the future based on available information and reasonable assumptions, which together form our basis for making judgments about matters that are not readily apparent from other sources. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, our actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require a higher degree of judgment than others in their application.
When reviewing our financial statements, the following should also be considered: (1) our selection of critical accounting policies, (2) the judgment and other uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, and (3) the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions. We believe the following accounting policies involve the most significant judgment and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
The Companys revenue recognition policies are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles regarding revenue recognition. Sales revenue is recognized when all of the following have occurred: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) the ability to collect is reasonably assured. These criteria are generally satisfied at the time of delivery for domestic sales when risk of loss and title passes to the customer. For international sales, the revenue recognition criteria are generally satisfied under Free on Board (FOB) terms, in which the Companys responsibility ends once the goods clear the port of shipment.
The Company recognizes revenue when the goods are delivered and title has passed. Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax (VAT). All of the Companys products that are sold in the PRC are subject to a Chinese value-added tax at a rate of 17% of the gross sales price or at a rate approved by the Chinese local government. This VAT may be offset by the VAT paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials included in the cost of producing their finished product.
- 35 -
The Company allows its customers to retain 5% to 10% of the contract prices as retainage during the warranty period, usually 12 or 18 months, to guarantee product quality. Historically, the Company has experienced insignificant warranty claims resulting in the Company having to repair or exchange a defective product. Due to the infrequency and insignificant amount of warranty claims, the ability to collect retainage is reasonably assured and is recognized at the time of shipment.
The Company also provides services to some of its sales agents and distributors. The Company recognizes revenue on these services once a contract is signed and the services have been rendered.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold consists primarily of direct material costs, direct labor costs, direct depreciation and related direct expenses attributable to the production of the products. Inbound shipping and handling costs and purchasing are included in direct material costs. Manufacturing overhead includes expenses such as indirect labor, depreciation as it relates to the cost of production, rent, utilities, receiving costs, and equipment maintenance and repairs.
Income Taxes
The Company applies the accounting standard regarding accounting for income taxes and the accounting standard regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes for income taxes. This accounting standard requires recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the income tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Provision for income taxes consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes. The charge for taxation is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items that are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred taxes are accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
Under the accounting standard regarding, accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is more likely than not that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the more likely than not test, no tax benefit is recorded. Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the year incurred. No significant penalties or interest relating to income taxes have been incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. GAAP also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance For Doubtful Accounts
The Companys business operations are conducted in the PRC. During the normal course of business, the Company extends unsecured credit to its customers by selling on various credit terms. Management reviews its accounts receivable on a quarterly basis to determine if the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate. An estimate for doubtful accounts is recorded when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. The Companys existing reserve is consistent with its historical experience and considered adequate by the management.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The accounting standards regarding disclosures about fair value of financial instruments defines financial instruments and required fair value disclosure of those instruments. This accounting standard defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. Receivables, investments, payables, short and long term debt and warrant liabilities qualified as financial instruments. Management believes the carrying amounts of receivables, payables and debt are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments, their expected realization, and if applicable, their stated interest rate is equivalent to interest rates currently available. The three levels are defined as follows:
- 36 -
Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.
The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under the accounting standards regarding accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity, accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities, accounting for derivative financial instruments indexed to, and potentially settled in, a companys own stock, and the accounting standard regarding determining whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entitys own stock. The accounting standard specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to the Companys own stock and (b) classified in stockholders equity in the statement of financial position would not be considered a derivative financial instrument. This standard provides a two-step model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuers own stock and thus able to qualify for this accounting standard scope exception. All warrants issued by the Company are denominated in USD; because the Companys functional currency is the RMB, the Company accounts for these warrants as derivative instrument liabilities and marks them to market each period. Because there is no quoted or observable market price for the warrants the Company used level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology.
The Company invested in China Perfect Machinery Industry Co., Ltd. in 1996 and Kaifeng Commercial Bank in 1997. There is no quoted or observable market price for these investments; therefore, the Company used level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology. Based on its proportionate share of the underlying book value of the investees, the Company believes the fair value of the investments is at least equal to the original cost. The determination of the fair value was based on the capital investment that the Company contributed. There has been no change in the carrying value since inception, other than the effects of translating the balances to US dollars.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company applies the accounting standard regarding accounting for stock-based compensation, which defines a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock based employee compensation and transactions in which an entity issues its equity instruments to acquire goods and services from employees and non-employees. Stock compensation for stock granted to non-employees has been determined in accordance with this accounting standard and the accounting standard regarding accounting for equity instruments that are issued to other than employees for acquiring, or in conjunction with selling goods or services, as the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured. This accounting standard allows the simplified method to determine the term of employee options when other information is not available.
Earnings per Share
The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of the accounting standard regarding "Earnings per Share." This accounting standard requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution (using the treasury stock method) that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock.
Common stock equivalents represent the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of the outstanding stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock method, at either the beginning of the respective period presented or the date of issuance, whichever is later, and only if the common stock equivalents are considered dilutive based upon the Company's net income (loss) position at the calculation date.
Business combinations
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the accounting standard regarding business combinations. This standard retains the fundamental requirements that the acquisition method of accounting (which this standard called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This standard requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions. This replaces the old accounting standards cost-allocation process, which required the cost of an acquisition to be allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-02 regarding accounting and reporting for decreases in ownership of a subsidiary. Under this guidance, an entity is required to deconsolidate a subsidiary when the entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in the subsidiary. Upon deconsolidation of a subsidiary, and entity recognizes a gain or loss on the transaction and measures any retained investment in the subsidiary at fair value. In contrast, an entity is required to account for a decrease in its ownership interest of a subsidiary that does not result in a change of control of the subsidiary as an equity transaction. This ASU clarifies the scope of the decrease in ownership provisions, and expands the disclosures about the deconsolidation of a subsidiary or de-recognition of a group of assets. This ASU is effective for beginning in the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 31, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-02 Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary a Scope Clarification. The amendments in this Update affect accounting and reporting by an entity that experiences a decrease in ownership in a subsidiary that is a business or nonprofit activity. The amendments also affect accounting and reporting by an entity that exchanges a group of assets that constitutes a business or nonprofit activity for an equity interest in another entity. The amendments in this update are effective beginning in the period that an entity adopts SFAS No. 160, non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements An Amendment of ARB No. 51. If an entity has previously adopted SFAS No. 160 as of the date the amendments in this update are included in the Accounting Standards Codification, the amendments in this update are effective beginning in the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively to the first period that an entity adopted SFAS No. 160. The Company adopted this standard and the adoption of this standard did not have material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that requires new disclosure as follows: 1) Transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2. A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. 2) Activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number). This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that clarify existing disclosures as follows: 1) Level of disaggregation. A reporting entity should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities. A class is often a subset of assets or liabilities within a line item in the statement of financial position. A reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities. 2) Disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. Those disclosures are required for fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3.The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU. However, the Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements, or ASU 2010-09. ASU 2010-09 primarily rescinds the requirement that, for listed companies, financial statements clearly disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. Subsequent events must still be evaluated through the date of financial statement issuance; however, the disclosure requirement has been removed to avoid conflicts with other SEC guidelines. ASU 2010-09 was effective immediately upon issuance and was adopted in February 2010.
In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-13, CompensationStock Compensation (Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades, or ASU 2010-13. ASU 2010-13 provides amendments to Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in currency of a market in which a substantial porting of the entitys equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-17 to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2010-17, Revenue RecognitionMilestone Method (Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition or ASU 2010-17. This Update provides guidance on the recognition of revenue under the milestone method, which allows a vendor to adopt an accounting policy to recognize all of the arrangement consideration that is contingent on the achievement of a substantive milestone (milestone consideration) in the period the milestone is achieved. The pronouncement is effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-17 to have any significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, Mr. Siping Fang and Mr. Renrui Tang, respectively, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports, such as this report, that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the companys management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, Mr. Fang and Mr. Tang concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures may not be effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2010 due to our current accounting staff being relatively new and inexperienced, and needing substantial training to meet the higher demands of being a U.S. public company. The accounting skills and understanding necessary to fulfill the requirements of U.S. GAAP-based reporting, including the skills of subsidiary financial statements consolidation, are inadequate and were inadequately supervised. The lack of sufficient and adequately trained accounting and finance personnel resulted in ineffective top level review and analysis of the Companys year-end evaluation of the Companys inventory and AR allowance.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The management of the Company is focusing on the continuous improvement of internal control in order to be in compliance with the requirements under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Henan Kai Feng High Pressure Valve Co., Ltd. installed Kingdee inventory management system in May 2010, the purpose of which was to achieve the goal of information technical general control instead the original manual control of inventory. Able Delight (Changsha) Valve Co., as the pilot of the Group, is implementing the SAPs ERP system supplied and maintained by Freudenberg IT, who has IT expertise and process knowledge based on over 30 years in the market and over 1,000 customer projects for small and medium-sized enterprises. The pilot project cost a total amount of RMB 2.9 million (equivalent to $423,000) with annual maintenance fees of RMB 100,000 (or equivalent to $15,000). With the success of the pilot project, all Group entities will adopt the ERP system.
